After four months of not receiving any response re: my application, I emailed the press inquiries address provided on the website and got a confirmation email about a week later. I assumed after not hearing for so long I'd be receiving a rejection letter, but was very pleasantly surprised. This will be my first year attending as accredited press, though I was able to use my connections to get into a couple of offsite things last year.
Congratulations! The first time we applied for press this same situation happened. No approval or rejection after months, we wrote them and within a week we were approved. I think some might fall through the cracks.
